ALL WELCOME
Friday 3rd February 2012
2pm - 4pm
An one-off event showcasing a series of exploratory projects which
reveal invisible histories, memories and traces in and around Devonport. These projects embed and reveal information about the past, present and future. They explore the use of interactive mobile media, smart objects and projection to suggest new ways of experiencing, interacting and engaging with our built environment.
Background.
Fourty students from the Schools of Architecture and the Digital Art and Technology have worked to create interactive projects that address the following topic:
How can we bridge the gap between the digital and the physical, the material and the immaterial transforming the way we interact with the space around us?
Organisers:
Unit Inbetween, School of Architecture and i-Dat, University of Plymouth
with the kind support of RiO (Real Ideas Organisation)

11 October 2010 - 12 October 2010
Laboratorio multimediale “Guido Quazza” – Palazzo Nuovo, Via Sant’Ottavio 20, Torino Accademia delle Belle Arti – Via dell’Accademia Albertina 6 Torino
Officine Sintetiche 2010 organises a study day and a workshop dedicated to the artist Marcel·lí Antúnez Roca (co-founder and ex-member of the Avant-garde theatre group La Fura dels Baus), in order to analyse theoretical approaches and artistic practices influenced by the use of the new information and communication technologies.
The Media and the New Media transform the art practice and generate new ways of expression, as a result of the interaction between technological material and artistic creativity. Technicians, artists, engineers and creators tend to work in closer and closer contact, and establish new procedures that are very strongly influenced by the nature and the particularities of the communication technologies.
The resulting new theater platform has in Marcel·lí Antúnez Roca one of its most important and international representatives. He brings together on the stage interactive video and sound, techno-body interfaces, sensors and network devices, thus enhancing a performativity that dis-unites the traditional boundaries of the artistic disciplines. Theatre, cinema and contemporary art get nowadays confronted on the new grounds of technological creativity.
11 OCTOBER STUDIES DAY
Free entrance. Laboratorio multimediale “Guido Quazza” – Palazzo Nuovo, Via Sant’Ottavio 20, Torino.
9.30-11.00 Opening session with Marcel·lí Antúnez Roca. Keynote speaker: Emma Zanella, Director of the MAGA-Museo Arte Gallarate, and Francesca Consoni, MAGA-Museo Arte Gallarate.
11.00-13.00 Round-table discussion on “MULTIMEDIA DRAMATURGY”. In the last two decades we have witnessed an increased development of the digital performances. Marcel·lí Antúnez is one of the pioneers of the new-dramaturgy that designs the performance and brings together interactive art and performance. In addition he has carried out a specific approach to narrative and drama through the lens of hypertext and multimedia. How does his practice challenge the modern and postmodern performance? Do we have to reconsider the concept of stage dramaturgy under the light of the interactive media? Is digital performance better seen as a continuation of the Avant-garde theatre or does it represent a rather unbridgeable rift?
Participants:
Antonio Pizzo – Università degli Studi di Torino
Steve Dixon – Brunel University of London
Lorenzo Mango – Università degli Studi di Napoli - L’Orientale
Federica Mazzocchi - Università degli Studi di Torino
15.00-17.00 Round-table discussion on “TECHNOLOGICAL PERFORMATIVITY AND CREATIVITY”. Nowadays creativity is deeply altered by the technological practices. The structural and practical features of the digital technologies strike and transform the performativity involved in the artistic creation. This represents a radical breaking point. What are the consequences of such a transformation? What are the new scenarios of technological performativity in the world of art?
Participants:
Tatiana Mazali – Università Telematica Internazionale Uninettuno di Roma
Gianni Corino – i-DAT / University of Plymouth
Mike Phillips – i-DAT / University of Plymouth
Alessandro Amaducci – Università degli Studi di Torino Domenico Quaranta – Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milano

The idea of this forum is to establish an open dialogue between general public and people dedicated to the interface between art, consciousness and technology. In the forum, the question plays the major role of relating the complexity of the participants projects and issues of daily reality in the voice of the invited perguntadores (’question makers’). The perguntadores will be intellectuals related to each of the five main topics of the round tables, but not particularly engaged in the context of art and technology. F.A.q. gathers 17 members of the Planetary Collegium, Brazilian artists and prominent intellectuals in the fields of science, culture and thought in a program of three days of lectures, round tables and commented digital art shows. http://www.faq.art.br/en.html
